He has a similar goal rate to Gally in recent years (3 last season, 7 the season before) and will be 33 years old within a week. He was a very good player at this level in the past, but those numbers coupled with his age do imply that he is on the decline https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andreas-weimann/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/49693/plus/0?saison=2023&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=

1 in, 2 leaving. Not having that Fadz is a new signing. he was here last season

Depends on who is left when the fire sale is done with, lol

On Friday against Morecambe? Yep

Are you getting your Dembeles mixed up? There are a few of them so understandable. Siriki Dembele tends to play wide left. Do you mean Karamoko?

Hedges does that also, being left footed on the right side, he is arguably more suited to it than JRC. That being said, if we get an entire season (46 games) out of the two of them combined, we have done well

Hedges will play wide right (when fit). JRC will move inside, in a recent interview (some point last week), Eustace said he was just trying to get his best currently available players into the same 11

Even then, it makes less sense than literally every other position

You can only assume from the move for McGuire (the original move to buy him outright, rather than the muddled together loan to buy) last winter that they were told they could spend some of the Wharton money. Then evidentially changed the goalposts whilst McGuire was mid flight That turned out well

Not sure if this has already been posted

Dolan doesn't matter quite as much as the others. As Rovers have offered Dolan a contract, due to his age, Rovers would still get a fee as long as he moves to another English club

It was already one of the best, and the academy is not particularly run down, they just pay the minimum amount to keep it at category 1. Much like they pay the minimum amount possible to keep the lights on

I hate myself for typing this but that is the same as "could clear £12M" which Nixon wrote All ifs, buts and maybes, but saying the same thing, not contradictory at all. He doesn't give a timescale of when, or indeed if we could clear the £12M mark

Prem teams have 3/4 senior keepers, just in case. He will be behind, Pope, Dubravka & Vlachodimos

The striker in Belgium scored 11 in 33 in a team that was relegated from the top flight last season, 6ft 3, apparently good in the air Would welcome Hill back and Dembele is what we are missing (pace) That all sounds far too positive to be true lol

Completely agree. However, do we have the money to bid for him? Could Rovers pay him more than Brum and their owners who seem to care and actually invest? I could only see it happening if he isn't in Birmingham's first 11. Which really is depressing

Exactly the kind of experienced keeper we will end up with, was ok once but now isn't far away from needing a Zimmer frame to get off the bench 😉

How long before he says "ask Steve & Suhail"? I go for next Friday night

Has played defensive midfield in every game that he has featured in this pre season. Can only assume its a cheap squad filler due to lack of funds and the hope that his height will help in defending set pieces. Still find it very strange that he has obviously signed a new deal but the club haven't bothered to announce it.

We were, he chose to go to Leicester

They didn't advertise it, someone on here posted that they were on sale

Vale is the Messiah!

JRC wasted out wide, I Imagine that when Hedges is fit 1 - JRC will move inside and either Travis or Tronstad will drop out. OR 2 - JRC to play in the number 10 spot when Szmodics goes

I got mine for £140 a few weeks back (just checked, bought mine 1st week of July)
